Don't even try to make a better one?!  What kind of remark is that?  If you
don't like his game or think it takes up too much room, don't put it on your
calc.  The first time you write something, especially if you're new to a
platform, it will be bad.  The next time it will (should) be much better.
How is he, or anyone, supposed to learn and get better if they "don't even
try"?

Think about this:  what if someone had told that to Jimmy Mardell after he
wrote Labby (I've never actually played it, so I'm not saying it's bad, but
I'm assuming it's not too great for being his first asm program)?  No Sqrxz,
Boulder Dash, ZTetris, ZShell School, all the great 92 programs, the 68k
Fargo guide, etc...
